Did you know the color of a child’s pumpkin basket may mean something?
💙 A blue pumpkin may be used to let others know a child is autistic and may communicate, react, or trick or treat differently.
🩵 A teal pumpkin is associated with food allergy awareness and can signal the need for allergy friendly or non food treats.
💜 A purple pumpkin may be used to represent epilepsy awareness.
This Halloween, a little patience and kindness can go a long way. Not every child will say “trick or treat,” make eye contact, wear a costume, or be able to eat every piece of candy.
Different doesn’t mean they deserve a different Halloween.
